No of course you haven't!!
Here's a top remix by Fathers of Sound, in a very similar vein to a Brothers In Rhythm remix and hence if you like those (which we all do) you'll love this.
It builds and builds then explodes with same great piano.
Top track!!
Ivan Matias - I've Had Enough (Fathers Of Sound Vocal Mix)
There are hundreds of Blondie remixes and many are pretty naff, but certainly not this one.
Totally love this, great job by K-Klass, who manage to keep all the elements of the original, but inject some great piano.
I grew up on Blondie tracks and the rap in this is still brilliant and so much better than the current day tosh!!
Big up Debbie H.
.....posting quality tracks.
Loving this one.
To be fair pretty much everything Tony Moran touches is gold.
He's a great vocalist, producer, remixer and DJ - gifted - yeah I'd say!!
Quality track this one.
Tony Moran featuring Trey Lorenz - Can I Love You More (Loverush UK! Club Mix)
Totally love this track and always have. A truly brilliant cover of the old Earth, Wind and Fire classic.
From the opening lines "I bestow upon you, all my happiness" "I'll grant you, peace of mind, and deliver onto you all my love"
right through every part of the track.
The beautiful wood pipes, the fantastic chugging beat, the simply gorgeous piano, all topped off with some great lyrics and that oh so fabulous Martha Wash vocal.
Pure Fantasy - Big Time!!
Forget "Ride On Time" this was the best track Black Box ever produced!!
Another quality old skool track.
I love the intro on this, which has been sampled several times since.
Clever use of Moby's "I Feel It" sample.
Top notch track anyway.
Enjoy!!!
Here's coming at you with a real old skool fave.
This is what we'd class as a real "piano tune" back int' day.
This was always a biggie and a real hands in the air track.
I always used to sing "We are so alone", when in fact it is "We are so in love"
No matter what you sing, it still sounds great today!!
Alright folks, apologies for the lack of action recently, as usual much going on.
However, here we are back with a bang.
Anyone who follows this blog, knows of my huge admiration for the vocal talents of Ms Carey.
This probably isn't her finest outing, but it certainly is a cracking track.
Tony Moran as usual producing some great stuff.
Get on it!! "I'm that chick you like - take me for the night"
Oh go on then Mariah!!
DJ Tony Moran featuring Mariah Carey - I'm That Chick
An absolute corker of a track.
One of those that I love everything about it, great vocals, great rap, superb piano, real catchy chorus.
All in all a top top tune. "I need a little celebration, revitalisation"
Big shout out to Martin who supplied this one from "My Most Wanted List".
Cheers fella - Top Man - here's to the joy of living!!
Whoa, a top piano track.
Borders on cheesy, but very, very catchy? "All I needed was your caress" "To be close, to be close, to be close to your heart"
Rock on!!
DJ Flavours - Your Caress (All I Need) (Extended Mix)
One of the best progressive house/early trance tunes ever produced.
I can't believe that I've not posted it already, so apologies for that.
This is a musical journey.
I always remember it as the lead track on a pretty renowned Dave Seaman mix set on Stress which we absolutely played to death in Ayia Napa in 1996.
Happy days indeed!!
Enjoy!!
Cracking track from 1996 made by Lil' Louis of "French Kiss" fame.
Great vocals, great piano, a top remix by Bottom Dollar.
A big Alistair Whitehead track back int' day if my memory serves me well.
Enjoy the Black Magic!!
Black Magic - Freedom (Make It Funky) (Bottom Dollar Pumped Up Vocal Mix)
Boy I'm spoiling you today!!
This is a truly amazing track.
I always thought BT was bit over rated and over hyped, but this is awesome.
Just simply love it!!
Mike Oldfield - Let There Be Light (B.T.'s Pure Luminescence Mix)
An absolute monster of a track (in length also at over 15 minutes).
It takes a while to get there, but it's oh so worth it.
Blue Amazon at their very best - pure brilliance!!!
Meltdown - My Life Is In Your Hands (Blue Amazon Blind Faith Vocal Mix)
"Embrace me, surround me, as the rush comes"
Top lyrics for a top song.
Big shout out to Simon for supplying this one. Nice one fella!!
Top remix by Gabriel & Dresden.
A delightful piece of smooth floating trance.
Nice!!
Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes (Gabriel & Dresden Sweeping Strings Mix)
Massive new track from the Pet Shop Boys.
Love 'em or hate them they produced soem top notch tracks.
This is very futuristic sounding and very progressive.
A bit like a combination of Giorgio Moroder meets Fluke.
Awesome - check it out and let me know your thoughts!!
As the track says "Turn it up"!!
Absolutely storming track.
I'm a big fan of 7th Heaven remixes, many more from them to come in future posts.
This track is immense.
Superb vocals - as I'm mentioned many times before on the blog, I'm not usually a male vocal fan, but these are sublime.
Just a cracking, cracking tune with lovely production.
It almost has mainstream crossover appeal but is still very club orientated.
It's comforting to see that some great club music is still being produced amongst the large majority of the dirge nowadays.
Enjoy!!!
Darren Hayes - Black Out The Sun (7th Heaven Club Remix)
We're experiencing a fantastic heatwave in England which is most welcome, following years of dismal summers.
My reasons to be cheerful part is partly related to the beautiful weather we are having, but also related to posting a great track which again restores my faith that good quality house music is still be produced today. It's just very hard to come by and takes a lot of searching to unearth it.
I've mentioned this one before on the blog, as it was the opening track in DJ Matt Gall's superb summer mix which I posted a few weeks back (check that out also as it's quality).
This is the perfect summer track.
Turn up loud and bliss out - serene!!
No not that one, just a top top track from Chakra dating back to 2000.
This was hammered by Oakey back int'day if I remember rightly.
A big shout out to Simon for recommending and supplying this one.
Top tune fella, much appreciated.
I think the Above & Beyond Mix just shades it over the original although they are both quality!!
Enjoy!!
